Little Nothings (Paperback)

Devilishly clever and beautifully written - Alice Clark-Platts

Little Nothings delivers some searing and uncomfortable truths about motherhood and female friendship. Beautifully drawn characters, thrown together in the pressure cooker nightmare that is a group holiday. Entirely and chillingly relatable - Sarah J. Naughton

A fun page-turner set on a Greek island paradise… This book balances edge-of-your-seat tension with gossipy fun as the friendships turn toxic, leading to a disturbing twist at the end. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Louise Candlish - Weekend Australian

Julie Mayhew so expertly feeds your dislike of the villainess that when our protagonist, Liv, gets together with a new friend and plans her murder, you're totally on board, if a bit taken aback by the enthusiasm you feel... Mayhew certainly gives Liane Moriarty a run for her money - New Zealand Listener

Mayhew is brilliant on women and the complex ways in which their relationships can turn destructive. A true single-sitting read - Alex Marwood

A well-written, absorbing story that cleverly illustrates the psychological impact of nurturing a true enemy in your midst - Rachel Abbott

Mayhew explores both the affirming side of female friendships and the darker currents of judgmental talk, financial peer pressure, and neediness - Kirkus Reviews

Anchored by a deliciously layered and desperately unreliable narrator, Little Nothings enriches the familiar setup of an intruder shaking up a happy idyll with a compelling, creative structure and distinctive voice - BookPage, US

Riveting - Crime Monthly

A shocking tale about loneliness, modern motherhood and toxic friendships - Woman's Own

It’s a one-sitting read, at times uncomfortable but always entertaining. And the twist at the end – which I won’t ruin for you here ­– is as disturbing as they come - Better Reading, Australia

The compelling psyche of Liv, her inability to understand functioning relationships with those around her, including her husband and daughter, underpins the entire narrative, and her characterisation was both relatable and unsettling - The Courier & Advertiser, Scotland

Liv is a fully developed character whose palpable anxiety, desperation, and rage drive the diabolical plot to a calamitous conclusion. Lucy Foley fans, take note - Publishers Weekly, US
